Thanks, i'm all open to any suggestions

I'll try it tomorrow because it's like 2:00AM lol (me trying to fix the problem but not succeeding... )

Don't worry about not knowing the name of the virus, there are sooo many types, it's just crazy now...

* jren207 considers switching to linux lol

I've been getting that as well!
At first I thought I was knocking the cable with my foot, but then it's happened again quite a few times since

Norton found nothing

Spybot found nothing

lol.. .. try trendmicro

nah, but serious, i dunno norton failed me 4 times in a row... so i'm kinda bias

Hmmm, i've yet to try the suggestion from Z_Joanna_ZZZ, i'll do that tomorrow,

but I'm thinking that it might not be a virus, a conflict with another program maybe, although, i don't remember installing much lately..

I honestly thought it might be a harware problem (It still might be), I even checked that the CPU speed was ok with the Intel processor ID Utility.... but it reports that my CPU is running at the correct speed as it was manufactured to run at.

Just do a System Restore to a few days before, when you were sure it worked fine. Windows is very good @ fucking up itself, so it does not need to be ur fault.

Maybe you have a hardware problem...

Go to start -> run -> devmgmt.msc 
and check if there are any " ! " 's

you should check the event log under  control panel> admin tools> Event Viewer and see if its reporting any problems

Hmmm..

I tried the try trendmicro scan online, nothing.
I tried system restore, nothing.
All my devices are running correctly, no "!"'s anywhere.
The only errors in the event log were something about DCOM, not unloading user profiles etc, which I have installed a tool from MS to solve this.

Still, slowness.

Ok, i'll just post another post (omg I double posted ), anyway,

I decided to reformat, and while I was doing some lastminute backups, (thank goodness for the windows CD writing wizard, yeh that sounds stupid ), I got a bluescreen with an error on it saying something along the lines of "Windows has been disabled to prevent damage to your computer". Then something about a driver problem and a memory reference.

(don't worry, I didn't lose any files, the writing wizard had just completed)

Anyway, what I think it was, was a dodgy Chipset driver for my SiS chipset. (More specific, an IDE chipset driver).

That's the only kind of thing, or major driver upgrade I performed, although why it had waited to unleash it's computer crashing powers when it did, I have no idea....

anyway, be careful and um.... stay away from chipset driver upgrades Kids!!
